Where Heritage Meets Hospitality

A Monument to Georgetown & DC

Born from Sheldon Magazine’s vision for a national landmark, The Georgetown Inn is a modern testament to the great inns of yesteryear. Our hotel’s announcement in 1959 was the talk of the town for its historic location and colonial-style architecture. Today, our hotel still offers the same charm once enjoyed by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, with its brick design, contemporary furnishings, and 24-hour bellman.
